Summary

Physical exercise program (PEP) have demonstrated their benefit to the health of older people. They are effective in functional performance and in the incidence and severity of falls. We hypothesize that intervention with targeted Physical exercise programs PEP on appropriate muscle strengthening devices allows, through its action on the muscle, to slow down the loss of autonomy in the elderly living in the home. Our main objective is to evaluate the impact of a PEP, targeted on adapted muscle strengthening devices, on the loss of autonomy for the acts of daily life in the person aged over 70 living at home.

Detailed description

The elderly will be identified during their call in the home centers of the town halls to get a housekeeper. After information, inclusion and randomization into two groups in the consultation site, the intervention group volunteers will follow the PEP for 24 weeks; the control group volunteers will receive a counseling booklet. Both groups will be followed at week 24 and 52.
